Book Blurb:

Two hundred years after the Tuatha de Danaan and Vampires formed a fragile alliance, the Wraith Accords are unraveling. Isabel Santiago is a leader in one of the most powerful of the vampire cabals, and she agrees to join the Fae court as a gesture of goodwill - and damage control.While Aed mac Goll’s loyalty to Fae is absolute, he’s never supported
the accords which gave the Vampires sanctuary and restored the Tuatha de’slink to humanity. The very idea he could desire an undead human is
unthinkable, yet he’s drawn to Isabel’s dark beauty and fierce intelligence.Despite their mutual mistrust, they soon find themselves lost in a
dangerous game of lust and power. When the treaty shatters amid calls for
Isabel’s head, Aed realizes their connection is more than physical. And to save
it, they’ll have to unravel a mystery that’s been a thousand years in the
making.

EXERPT

“Lady Isabel.”

He came from the shadows, a massive outline of a
man, darker than anything around him. It seemed the starlight didn’t touch his
armor, which was a matte black that made her think of lightless prison cells
deep underground. She couldn’t stop the shiver that shook her.

He removed the full helmet, revealing a face as
beautiful as the armor was dark. His hair was the rich brown of the earth with
streaks of gold. His skin was pale, but not so pale as hers, more cream than
white, but light enough that the blue of his eyes was startlingly bright. His
hair was long and pulled back from his face, leaving his strong, angular
features exposed.

Isabel swallowed the saliva that pooled in her
mouth. She wanted this man. She wanted to take him, fuck him, pleasure him and
hurt him. She wanted to taste his blood as he fucked her, wanted to feel his
hands on her flesh. He smelled like nothing she could describe, and the assault
on her senses—visual, aural and olfactory—nearly brought her to her knees. It
had been a very long time since she’d had such a strong reaction to a man. If
this was what it would be like each time she met one of the Tuatha de Danaan, this
mission would be far more challenging than she’d anticipated.

“You know of the Fianna?” His features hadn’t
changed but the consternation was there in his voice. He held his helmet out to
the side and it melted away into the darkness.

The Fianna were the legendary warriors of the
Tuatha de Danaan. They guarded the royal family and when called upon were a
fighting force of unparalleled skill. Most of this was known only through human
legends, the stories of Ireland detailing the exploits of the Fair Folk, who
were once reported to be gods, then made mere men by the monks who recorded the
tales. Fact and human myth rarely resembled each other, but Isabel had found
that there was usually a kernel of truth buried in the origins of such stories,
and what they’d learned of the Tuatha de Danaan since the Wraith Accords had
confirmed that piece of legend.

“I know only enough to be honored.” She curtsied
again.

Aed bowed. “The honor is mine. Will you follow
me?”

He gestured for her to precede him. Isabel let
herself be guided deeper into Tara.
